Welcome to the 51st Annual Meeting of the

History of Economics Society

The Annual Conference of the History of Economics Society is one of the most important international gatherings of historians of economics. The conference provides an opportunity to meet with friends and colleagues, to learn about new research in the field, and to talk with journal and book editors and bloggers.

2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the History of Economics Society. Join us to celebrate this occasion at our annual meeting July 14-18, 2024 at the Universidad del Desarrollo in Santiago, Chile. Please see our video slideshow for more information about the location and nearby attractions.
